    22 patients affected by BPH have been treated with a spiral urethral prosthesis under local anesthesia with ultrasonic guidance and endoscopic technique. All the patients either refused the surgical procedure or had high operative risk. Insertion guided by ultrasound and endoscopic technique was successful in 19 patients (86%) with a follow-up of 12 months. In our experience the insertion of this prosthesis is a favorable alternative to an indwelling catheter in selected patients.
